With a fresh sensor, image processor and connectivity options galore, the 100D’s successor proves that less can be more
With the recent expansion of the EOS M system, Canon’s entry-level DSLR lineup has been left looking relatively neglected, represented by the EOS 1300D, along with the positively pensionable EOS 100D from over four years ago.
Consequently, it’s no surprise that the new EOS 200D packs numerous internal and external improvements, with particular attention focused on usability and connectivity. For starters, the camera gets Canon’s Guided UI, which popped up in the recent EOS 800D. This allows you to switch the interface from its traditional readout to a more graphically driven guide that explains various shooting functions. Canon is aiming the EOS 200D at smartphone photographers looking to enter the DSLR world, and to further ease this transition and tempt them to the Canon brand, the EOS 200D packs a new selfie mode, together with skin smoothing and background blurring controls. Built-in Wi-Fi, NFC and Bluetooth are also on hand, making image sharing as seamless as possible.
